Re: setting the date with date [ Netdate ]
On 04-Nov-1999, Dave Sherohman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ray Schultz said: Netdate will sync your computer clock with that of a Network Time Protocol server (NTP). An example is time.uh.edu What's the difference between netdate and ntpdate (other than that ntpdate is a separate package)? There is no difference between netdate and ntpdate, however the xntp package provides some more services that allow a clock to be kept in sync with another clock continuously. For example, my computer clocks gains 1 sec every minute (hypothetically) using netdate means after one minute my clock will be out by 1 second. However if I use ntp the two clocks will be kept in sync for the entire day, very useful if the two computers share a filesystem. I personally use ntp, found in the xntp package, to sync with an atomic clock on a GPS satellite (well the computer I sync with gets its time from the satellite and I can at most be 20ns out). Pete

Re: newbie curious
Steve Winston [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I am going to install Debian Gnu-Linux (the version to come out bundled with an Oreilly text) on a hard drive that already has win98 on it. The same machine has linux mandrake 6.0 on a separate hard drive (the master drive on this computer), and it works super with linux mandrake. I have some questions: 1. If the computer works with linux mandrake, then am I safe to assume that everything will be compatible with Debian Gnu-linux? Maybe. For the most part of it, i think it will work, but i don't know what version of glibc it uses, or what uses the Debian you are going to install. If Mandrake uses version 2.1 of glibc, then chances are that a lot of things won't work with Debian, because current Debian cdroms uses version 2.0 (the current unstable `potato' uses 2.1). Also Debian and other distributions have some other differences, like different places for config files or such. 2. Win98 occupies 5gb of a 10gb hard drive. The rest of the drive is not partitioned. I will stick the debian distribution there. Will the Debian lilo let me boot into Win98? Right now, linux mandrake recognizes the win98 partition on the slave drive, but when I try to boot into windows with lilo, win98 insists it sees a nonsystem disk in the a drive and refuses to boot up. So, I am using the BIOS to switch between the two hard drives. From this i assume you have something like this: /dev/hda - master disk with Linux Mandrake /dev/hdb - slave disk with Win98 right? Windows assumes that it boots from the C: drive, and when you try to boot it with lilo it sees it is not C: but D: (or other) and refuses to boot. I have a similar setup in my box. The goal is to make win98 think that it is in the master disk. LILO can do this for you, so you don't have to go to the BIOS every time. I have the following setup: /dev/hda - master disk with MS-DOG 6.2 (for some old games and emus) /dev/hdb - cdrom /dev/hdc - secondary master disk with Win95 (for some games) /dev/hdd - secondary slave disk with Linux (Debian 2.1) My BIOS is old enough so it only can boot off the primary master, but using LILO in mbr of /dev/hda allows me to boot from either of them. I include my lilo.conf below. - lilo.conf boot=/dev/hda # where Lilo is installed (mbr of /dev/hda) map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b #delay=50 timeout=50 # timeout of 5 seconds prompt # show boot: prompt message=/boot/message # message showing options disk=/dev/hdd # options for the BIOS sectors=63 heads=64 cylinders=525 other=/dev/hda1 # MS-DOG label=dos table=/dev/hda image=/boot/bzImage # Linux append=mem=128M label=linux root=/dev/hdd1 read-only other=/dev/hdc1 # Win95 label=win map-drive=0x80 # this makes first disk become to=0x81 # second disk map-drive=0x81 # this makes second disk become to=0x80 # first disk - end lilo.conf - I'm using LILO version 21. The numbers 0x80 and 0x81 refers to the first and second disks installed (i also have 0x82 for the third). Also make sure that the Win98 boot partition has the boot flag active in case it refuses to boot (when you switch from the BIOS, it activates (or deactivates) the flag of the partition to boot, i think).

SMTP with password on Pine?
Does Pine work with SMTP servers that require login/password? I'm trying to hook up Pine to an external email service. So far I can receive messages by downloading them with fetchmail, but I can't send mail because the SMTP server requires a password and I can't seem to find anywhere in the Pine config that lets me specify a username/passwd. Or perhaps I should just switch to mutt? :-) But mutt is currently un-installable in potato due to an unmet dependency?

So whatever messed-up protocol your SMTP server is actually speaking, make sure your local MTA speaks it. Or just bypass your service provider's SMTP server altogether.

Menus in X Windows
Just how is it that all my window managers can essentially show the same menu entrues, such as when I click on the root window? For instance, in E I can click Debian, and I see all the selections that I'd see with Window Maker, fvwm2, etc. How does this happen? Is there a central menu file that all the managers can read? Or is it that the packages are maintained so nicely that part of the installation is to put menu entries in the appropriate language for each window manager? -- David J.

Can't change window managers on the fly
I used to be able to change window managers on the fly by selecting a manager from the Window Managers menu. But after updating a few managers to the Potato version, selecting a new manager from the Window Manager menu kicks me out to the xbanner login. Any ideas? -- David J.

HD problem/kern.log.3gz
I was running the [EMAIL PROTECTED] program a month or so back and got up in the
morning and found my X screen completely frozen. Ctrl-alt-delete or
Ctrl-alt-backspace had no effect. So I did a hard reset. I got the
forced check as expected but in the final stages of the boot routine I
received errors flying by and couldn't boot into Debian. I should
mention that my hard drive made a loud clunking noise I had never heard
before. I tried several times to boot and the same thing happened. I
gave up thinking my HD was blown. A couple days ago I accidentally
booted the HD Debian is on and it booted fine. I have booted twice now
and everything is ok. I've looked at the log files but don't understand
what the error messages mean. I was hoping someone could clue me in on
what is going on with my HD. Sorry for the length of this message.
Thanks,

Re: Installationsproblem bei Linux
To read German is easy for me (I'm Dutch) but to write in German is not my best side so the answer is in good ol' plain English: Go to the second console with left-altf2, hit enter, and use: 'fdisk /dev/sda' for the first SCSI drive. Make your Linux partition(s) here and a swap partition. Make sure you make a boot floppy at the end of the install process. If you can't boot LILO from the SCSI drive use the boot floppy you made at the end of the install. Boot into Linux, do the rest of the install. Then edit /etc/lilo.conf and add at the top: disk=/dev/sda bios=0x80 disk=/dev/hda bios=0x81 Add other SCSI and IDE disks if necessary. Run 'lilo' to make things permanent.

Re: gtk+ 1.2?
libgtk++ is one of a few 'moving targets' that debian can't keep up with. Another is wine. Also VDK and gEDA. So I have been downloading sources from their home sites and building my own in /usr/local/src. This works but you must include /usr/local in your path. Also add /usr/local/lib to your /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig after building the libraries. You could also download the source from unstable and then use dpkg-source -x and dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc to build your own .deb's under your current version of libc. Only problem is I think that when you DO upgrade to potato dselect won't grab the latest versions of the packages you built since it will think they are the same version and then you will still have the versions built against the older libc. You of course could un-install and re-install the packages. = Amateur Radio, when all else fails! http://www.qsl.net/wa2mze Debian Gnu Linux, Live Free or . __ Do You Yahoo!?

Install the gs-aladdin package which is compiled with the hpdj driver and has a specific driver for the 550 and many other hpdj printers. Also is it possible to set a printer on a Linux box on a LAN and have the Win9x/NT machines print on it? If so is it really hard to setup? Samba will make this possible. Just make a local printer available that passes the print data from the win machines directly to the printer without using a filter. That way you can install the printer driver on the win machines and take full advantage of the native win print drivers. Read the SMB-HOWTO and the doc in the samba-doc package.

potato install and boot floppies
hello, I have to repartition my disk (completely) and have potato system there now, but would just like to install it directly this time since upgrading from slink did not go very well the first time. I downloaded the boot floppy and root disk and the base2_2.tgz files et al, I intend to install the base though nfs, however when I configured the network in dbootstrap it failed to initialize my NIC, ok so they did not include a driver for it, I so i recompile a new kernel with the appropriate options and install it on the floppy, everything seems to work, except now dbootstrap wants to have drivers-2.2.13.tgz and resc1440-2.2.13.bin instead of drivers.tgz and resc1440.bin (I did run the rdev.sh script btw) is this just because I used a 2.2.13 kernel instead of 2.2.12? I don't see why this would matter... would renaming the files be an acceptable solution? if I missed a piece of documentation somewhere please point me in that direction :) also will it work to restore my current /var/cache/apt/ with the one i have now to save downloading packages that are there now? thanks Best Regards, Ethan Benson To obtain my PGP key: http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/pgp/

Snapshot for debugging network problems
While tracking down network problems of any kind, it's quite handy to take a snapshot of the networking parameters so you can look at it after the event. I have a bash function which is currently: /bin/uname -a /sbin/ifconfig /sbin/route -n /usr/sbin/arp -n -a /bin/netstat -n -a -e /bin/ps auxwww /bin/date Then I use tcpdump -l -n -i interface [host host] | tee somefile to watch the traffic and /bin/fuser -n udp or tcp -v port number to see what might be causing trouble. The last one I really stumbled across, only having seen fuser used for investigating busy files and directories in the past. Are there any useful commands I've missed? What's the best tool for translating the output from tcpdump?[stop here if you like] For those that might be interested, the last problem I was trying to solve was a dramatic slowdown in ppp from my home machine to work. So slow that ssh just wouldn't connect, and telnet would take more than five minutes. Characters could take up to a minute to reflect. I was at work and had initiated the ppp connection. Looking at the traffic with tcpdump -l -i ppp0, it was completely dominated by traffic to the nameservers, and with the fuser command on the port numbers being shown, I was able to pin it down to icmplogd and tcplogd which were running on the m/c at home. (No longer.) I have no idea why this slowdown had happened only a couple of times in the past, but previously I'd put it down to a bad line or some ethernet problem at work. (It never seemed to affect the CHAP handshaking, though.) I attacked the problem this time because I was sitting at the work end, so I could easily confirm that everything on the ethernet was functioning. (And I really needed to transfer a file home.) It took me most of an hour to realise I should kill the two offending daemons. I'm still not sure what they were asking the nameservers, but I have a large traffic file available. I'm used to seeing messages like (from memory) bar 255, who is foo, tell bar and foo bar, foo is on 0:1:2:3:4:5 but this stuff was all numerical.

Re: setting the date with date [ Netdate ]
Peter Ross said: There is no difference between netdate and ntpdate, however the xntp package provides some more services that allow a clock to be kept in sync with another clock continuously. Right, but, as I said in my original question, ntpdate is a package unto itself. I don't know about the xntp package (according to my machines, it doesn't exist), but the ntp package recommends the ntpdate package. So if netdate is in one of the standard/base networking packages and netdate is identical to ntpdate, why does the ntpdate package exist? -- Geek Code 3.1: GCS d- s+:+ a- C+++ UL++$ P L++ E- W+(--) N+ o+ !K w--- O M- !V PS+ PE Y+ PGP t 5++ X+ R++ tv- b++ DI D G e* h+ r++ y+

There was a /usr/share/debconf/confmodule.sh, so I decided, to cp that file leaving out the .sh, to appease dselect. It seems to have worked, WTF?

remained offline (totally) for about a week. then we powered it back up
and it worked ok, shut it down a few minutes later and it was dead
again. so if data is on the rive that u cant recover now, let the drive
rest some, and try again in a week or 2. in any case the drive is dead.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] can do this(like any memory intesenive porogram) if u dont

diald won't connect a second time

I also get a message unknown option 'reroute' when the connection is initiated. I don't see anything in the changelog about reroute being discontinued. Prior to the latest upgrade, diald ran flawlessly for me. Running /etc/init.d/diald stop ; /etc/init.d/diald start will reset things so diald works again, but this shouldn't be necessary. Does anyone know what changed here and what to do about it? System is potato (nearly up-to-date, except for a few packages which won't update correctly, like mutt and console-data), kernel 2.0.38.

Problems during installation of LINUX
German part see below. I want to install LINUX on my PC. For this I created a rescue floppy disk (LINUX) under DOS to be able to boot the PC. After I have booted the PC and I answered some questions the step appears to select a harddisk for partitioning. Now the problem occurs. I have connected one HD on IDE1, one HD on IDE2 and one on an SCSI adapter (Adaptec 1542). I want to use the SCSI HD for Linux installation, but the window on the screen only shows /dev/hda and /dev/hdc to be selected ( the IDE HDs). What has to be done to use the SCSI HD for partitioning and installing LINUX? Kind regards Claus Ich moechte gerne LINUX auf meinem PC installieren. Deshalb habe ich mir eine rescue Floppy erzeugt, mit der ich den PC boote. Das funktioniert wunderbar. Danach komme ich -nach mehreren Schritten- zu dem Punkt eine Harddisk auszuwaehlen. Hier beginnt mein Problem. Ich habe je eine HD an IDE1 und IDE2 und eine HD an SCSI ( Adaptec 1542 ) angeschlossen. Zur Auswahl bekomme ich nur /dev/hda und /dev/hdc angeboten ( die IDE HDs ). Die SCSI HD erscheint nicht im Menue. Was muss ich beim Prompt boot: angeben oder sonst tun, damit die SCSI HD erkannt wird, sodass dann LINUX von CD auf dieser HD installiert wird. Vielen Dank fuer Ratschlaege. Claus
y2k hardware checking software for linux ?
was curious if anyone knew if such stuff exists. my main server, claimed by one of the admins is not y2k compliant (the mainboard, which is an ASUS P2B-D). I don't know the bios rev, and i dont want to reboot the machine, i'm also 2000 miles away from the machine with the only people that have access to it, although bright, do not have a lot of experience (if any) in doing this kind of work like flashing a bios. so it brings me to the question is there a hardware tester for linux? something i could run w/o a reboot. also, what are the chances that software on the system will check the date from the hardware clock and not the software clock (hwclock as opposed to date). see: galactica:/users/admin/aphro# hwclock --show ; date Fri Nov 5 15:31:12 1999 -0.478007 seconds Fri Nov 5 08:59:17 PST 1999 they are different now, and always have been and it has yet to cause a problem. i still plan to flash update if needed *EVENTUALLY*, i don't want to feel rushed to shut down the main server if the danger is not that great. Im sure all the critical software on the system is y2k compliant (latest apache, latest sendmail, latest ipop3d etc) I'm shocked that a company like ASUS would have Y2K issues on a Dual PII mainboard thats barely a year old. I can't find any info on exactly what the problem is other then the boards are Y2K compliant as of bios rev X. the latest bios rev inclnudes no additional info as to what is changed. thanks to all.. nate [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By:http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMPhttp://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- 8:58am up 77 days, 20:26, 1 user, load average: 0.29, 0.36, 0.35
How to use my modem as a phone
Hello everyone !
I'd like to use my Olitec Speed Voice 56000 as a phone, just as I can under
Windoze. Is it possible ? Which software must I use (I prefer packaged in
.deb, but I can compile the sources too.)
Thank you very much.

Questions on X
I run Debian Slink 2.2 fully updated from debian.org. I have 2 machines setup on a network in my house. One of them has a lot of ram and HD space for use and the other is very limited in both. I have my home directory maped by nfs to the large machine. What I want to do is use xdm to act as a x terminal on the small machine so it will not be so slow in X when I want to use it. I am asuming that it is posible but I cannot figure out how to configure that. Can anyone help me? Thanks. Brian Schramm [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.linuxexpert.org

I would like to set it up so I can send an email or some other message from a machine over the net or locally to another user to tell them to log in a check for messages. I know if they are on I can get their attention but a lot of times I would like to have my wife log in when I send her a message that I need to have her look at right away. The computer is usually in ear shot so the sound card or speeker can be trigured. I would love to have it run by an email address so I can do it from anywere. Any ideas??

Re: Printers..
*- On 5 Nov, David Wright wrote about Re: Printers.. Quoting Brian Servis ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): A long standing question though is which postscript printer driver to use on the windows machine? I usally choose an Apple driver since they tend to stick to the true postscript format and don't add proprietary formats like HP sometimes does. I also select the Archive Format in the -- what does that do? / I am not 100% sure but from what I have gathered over the years it makes the postscript code more portable and turns off lots of the proprietary code in the postscript. It may be one of those it works so why change it type of deals. driver. Someone needs to write a GPL'ed ghostscript windows printer driver(maybe it already exists?). I'm interested in this too, as I have a linux box serving an HP 895 to an NT box as well as other linuxes. I actually use the HP 895 driver, but I had to trick NT into install it. What I did was to borrow the 895 for NT just to install the HP driver (which insists on seeing the printer - I guess it talks back). After I'd returned the 895 to linux, I set up my default printer on NT with some driver already present, and then changed its Properties to the HP 895 driver (keep this version option). Are there any advantages in having done this? Hmmm. I don't recall having this problem when I setup my 660C. I would assume that by telling it that it was a network printer it would not try and establish 2-way communication. Then again it is Windows so you can't assume anything in confidence.

Scrollback default in terminal emulators?
Hi I've been spoiled by the OpenStep UI, and Terminal.app. I would love to set a (large) default scrollback buffer for a decent terminal application -- something like rxvt or kvt. Is my best option here to find and compile the appropriate sources, or does someone know of a secret environment variable/config file? - Brian

motherboard temperature alarm beeps during screen-saver activity
I have a SuperMicro motherboard with a temperature alarm. The alarm beeps intermittently during screen-saver activity. There is no temperature problem. Either there's some I/O port being touched that should not be, or the beeper is going off due to some motherboard-detected error. I have parity enabled, I wonder if that's it? Has anyone seen this?
